Mr. Peterson. I had looked up "Tubalcain" a couple of years ago when I first ran across your channel because I knew it was Biblical and I thought it might have to do with blacksmithing or metalworking of some kind. He was skilled in all manner of bronze and iron work. Thanks for confirming that. I pray you have many more years of teaching, not just 5. I know that Psalms talks about a person promised 70 years or 80 by reason of strength, but Genesis 6:3 God said He would limit mankind's years to 120. So again I say long life to you and may you rest in eternity only after you are satisfied as the Bible says (Psalm 91:16). Thanks for all your work on these videos. They are interesting and informative and I think helpful to those who aren't professional machinists. Having been a machinist for the last 36 years, starting out cutting stock on a horizontal bandsaw and working my way up to CNC machinery, I can appreciate all the aspects of how you teach. I've also learned that any 2 machinists will approach a task differently and neither may necessarily be right unless it comes to safety, so I will view another's method with the idea of learning something which might be possibly be better than I had come up with or at least be able to appreciate a different way of doing something. Keep up the good work, and all the best!
Rick Bagnall you are spot on. The bible says 3 score and 10, but a man can lengthen, OR shorten his days on this earth. I wanted to be a machinist, and took HS Machine Shop. I loved the work, but my life took a different path. Watching these videos has reinvigorated my love of machining and I recently purchased a lathe to get started. I too hope MrPete/Tubalcain/Lyle has many more years of strength, life, happiness, and a willingness to share his knowledge. I watch other machinist videos, and am tickled when I see them using the ways of Tubalcain, especially when I see a copy of his Tuna/Chicken can oil can sitting on there machinery. I have watched so many of his videos, Lyle seems like an old friend, and if he passes before me, I will miss him dearly. But he has ensured his legacy will go on through all his videos. To Lyle, and men like Lyle, there are damn few left. PS: I love his sense of humor, and he brings us great joy. "FORESKIN" - I about busted a gut.
Your great sense of humor is shining through on this one! Keep it up! Thanks for what you do, I just regret I didn't have you as my shop teacher back in the 19th century.
Mr. Pete, youre a great man, and one of my all-time Heroes! You better be around a lot longer than 5 more years my friend, I need constant education in the shop! Live-long and Prosper, and please be well - old timer!
I would love to see your trials and tribulations on the 3D printer! And along with probably 99 percent of your viewers hope you live forever!!! Since like a fine wine I think you only get better with age and funnier!! Keep up the fantastic work Sir.
Love your videos and the crafty name reference sir. Don't let the critics get you down; the internet's full of keyboard warriors who haven't the skill or courage to get their hands dirty. Lastly, your sense of humor shines especially bright in this installment;)
I like your modification! As far as folks who get upset with your modifications, thumb your nose at them and keep moving! I once thought modifying machines was a no no. You see all my machines are line shaft era. Sadly many of the features of newer machines had not yet been thought of or my machines were not shipped with those attachments. I have started improving my machines to better suit my needs. When I first got my 1903 20" x 36" lathe it had an ugly home made gear arrangement at the outboard side of the spindle. I removed it thinking it was not original and did not belong. Fortunately I did not scrap those gears. It turns out those gears were to further slow the feed. I was forever plagued by coarse finishes on my machine because it had such a high feed rate without those additional gears. I have since reinstalled them and I now get a much better finish. It turns out that they will not interfere with any operation other than left hand thread chasing, and I can easily remove one gear allowing me to reverse the lead screw to accomplish this task. All the best! Mike
I scroll down through the countless videos I downloaded during the night, until I find mrpete222 and then click, grab my coffee and sit back and enjoy. Thanks again Mr Pete, as usual another great video.
Keep'em coming Mr. Pete...whatever, whenever and for how ever long You want...people will be cherishing your videos for another 100 years. Look forward to your thoughts on table flex. Concrete in the tube works if you don't have an internal table weight but don't plan on moving it soon on a floor press. Thanks Much. ~PJ
Whelp, you can bet your bippy when I take my dirt nap (only a few years behind you) I'll be asking St. Pete, if I get through the gates, where the Tubalcain shop videos are...if I don't make it through the gates...Whelp I guess I'll be watching "Dancing Cat" videos shot on a cell phone. (@¿@) Besides Betty White is older than Sliced Bread and she is Timeless...so is education and wisdom. Somehow this feels like trying to get a pin out of blind hole. I'll stop now but think I'll write the Smithsonian... ;-P
Nice video, for "cosmetic purposes " you could counter-bore or dish out the front of the new hand wheel in the lathe to make it flush to the end of the shaft. BTW love your dry humor. I can't say how many more years anyone has but as America's metal shop teacher you still have a platform and a "mission" your are sharp as a tack so god willing you have many more than 5 years left.
Mr. Pete, thanks for another "sometimes you have to do it this way" video, referring to the blind pin removal of course. I probably would have attempted to hand drill a slightly larger hole 180 degrees from the pin and drive it out with a long punch. Either way the hand wheel ends up marred so one method is as good as the other.
A "dirt nap," that made me laugh out loud and my wife and her sister looked at me like I was nuts. I had you on headset and they were watching some lame House Hunter show on HGTV. That work like is the exact same type that is on my Rockwell Delta Jig saw that was manufactured in the late 1940's to early 1950's. Love that old style.
I own 10 hacksaw's or maybe 12, and have 100s of Hacksaw blades. I use hacksaw's almost every day, I love the high tension frames coupled with sharp blades, you have a formidable cutting tool.
Could attach a cross bar over the face of the handwheel to move the knob out to a larger diameter and to cover the fact the shaft isn't flush. Using the original knob hole just add one across from it and you can attach the bar.
I absolutely enjoyed your video and comments. Particularly the comments to your most critical viewers. Also referred as trolls. Take care Mr. Tubalcain.
And yet another Great video from mrpete !!! I really appreciate all your hard work and time it takes to make these videos! I have yet to view a bad one! I have learned a ton from watching your channel Two thumbs up Sir!!
Thanks for sharing mrpete. It is your drill press to do with as you wish. If the mods are reversible all the better. Most machines can be made better by a little tweaking. regards from the UK
Great video Mr. P.. Keep them coming brother.. In to days society one can not complement one without offending another.. So I try to be an equal opportunity offender.. Thank you for sharing your time in the shop...
Ignore all the nay sayers. It is your machine. Do what ever it is required to be efficient for your use. There are some people who always give as thumbs down on everything.
When I watch TH-cam on our TV, wifey rolls her eyes when Abom, Keith Fenner or Keith Rucker are on screen. When you come on she actually laughs at some of your asides and plies me with questions about what you're up to. She's a high school science teacher and sees the teacher in you.
The drill press was in new mint condition once. That ship has sailed a long time ago. As long as something has no historical significance i see no issues with modifying something as long as it's an improvement.
Sometimes purest just go to far. Sure it's nice to save the original . Like you said the next owner may want an original. Good luck , God bless , I enjoy your videos.
You know Mr. Pete, you were making those five year dirt nap comments five years ago. Why not just face the fact that you're stuck with us for a long time to come? :)
I was just thinking that you might want to add 3 small protrusions to the new knob(at 120 deg interval), facing outward (perpendicular to the shaft) to allow more leverage. Secure each with a blind pin, as they might come loose with use. BTW, thanks for all the great videos!!!
Lyle, I always learn from your videos, please do keep 'em coming! And I "get" your humor, prob b/c I'm a geezer, too, haha. Know what you mean re LED bulbs. I've changed all my machine lights and the ceiling 4 foot fluorescent tubes over to LED. Nice not to burn your arms when you brush against one. PS - It appears this current age is near it's end and we're outta here soon, so you might not get a chance to take that "dirt nap" ;-) Keep looking UP, Brother!
Love the videos the, humour and all the content, keep on doing what you’re doing. Since retiring I have learnt a lot from your channel. I am probably like many of your watchers in that I have a small lathe ( Myford ML 7) and can not find the room or warrant the cost of a milling machine. Would you consider passing on some of your knowledge on simple milling operations on the lathe, both on the vertical slide and what is needed for horizontal milling. Keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to attempt to educate us amateurs.
Next time you're up in Branson I wouldn't mind coming up there to shake your hand and say hi. The wife and I try to make it up there every now and then as well as the Grizzly store in Springfield.
Thanks for posting this as I have the same drill press. Might I ask a few questions? What belt does it take can't find anything on it? And what size is the ladder chain? Any help would be great as I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance.
I hope it’s many, many, many years before you take your “dirt nap”. If you want the face of the wheel flush with the end of the shaft, you could face a little off the boss on the rear of the wheel, unless that is going to interfere with the set screw. Great video, keep up the great work. Also, as far as making mods to machines go, I make many mods to my machines to suit myself. Not concerned about what anybody thinks, let the next owner change it back to original if he or she wants to.
I see that you've experimented with adhesion on your printer bed (glue, hairspray), but are still using tape; did you find that worked the best? Love the humor- keep it coming!
Thankyou for the video. Mr. Pete, would you please make a video explaning why a center drill centers? Is it becaurse off wery pricise grinding or what makes it center?
Of course, you could give me the drill press and sit back and see who complains about that, too. 😊 Not holding my breath, though. I hope to have a camelback drill press next summer. Thanks for the video as well as all the others. John
Say it isn't so, now even Tubalcain is in the 21st century with a 3D printer. Never would have thought that. A lament for the wooden foundry patterns soon to be replaced with plastic.
Mrpete i rember a while back u showed an atatcment that turned a combination square in to a hight gauge was wondering if u had any plans on making such an add on as we all have a combination square
Just rambling again; sometimes things do get butchered you have no choice. Myself I do not give up or throw anything away. My snow day fix on the ship wheel is, why don't you mill a flat on the damage or hex flats all around that would look factory: yes
sorry Mr. Peterson but I am curious about how to remove the pin in other ways too that why I like you channel people had done the thing like that and I like to read them too sometime it helps other out. you and your channel has shown and told use thing we never have seen or have done the open comment you should be happy with the info they may be given us just saying, other people, the knowledge you are shutting out for being a teacher you think you know that. I am very sorry if you do not understand. when I read the comments on your channel I am amazed at how meaning people had the different way of doing a job or a repair you and your subscriber put out just have to say well done to the subscriber do it
Maybe they put the ships wheel on so you can only turn the knob slowly, giving the belt time to catch up to the new setting? It is amazing sometimes what silly inconveniences they put on otherwise fine machines.
For future reference, if you need to get such a pin out of such a blind hole, whilst cursing the such and such who installed a part that way, there is an easy way.... take a trip to your local tile store and look for diamond-tipped core bits - the smallest ones are simply for drilling holes through a hard tile (porcelain and the like) where a normal masonry bit won't work. Bigger ones tend to be for cutting out holes for pipes and cables. They go through aluminium like butter and non-hardened steel almost as well, if you take your time. Anyways, select the size that has a centre hole a tad larger than the diameter of the offending pin, clamp the part vertically in your drill press vice and simply mill out the metal around the pin, down to about half the wall thickness of the part it's in. Then grab the pin with whatever tool seems appropriate and pull the bugger out! It's a procedure we perform semi-regularly with a piece of railway equipment we have dealings with at work. The old pin is replaced with a turned item that is the diameter of the original pin at the bottom of the hole and the diameter of the ew milled-out section at the top. The pin we have dealings with is relatively large, so the replacement is drilled and tapped about 5mm deep for an M3 thread. So next time we can just whack an Allen head bolt in the hole and pull it right out. Hope that helps someone.
LOL! Ya gotta do what ya gotta do! ROTFLOL! For future reference. If you ever run into this again you can simply finish off the hole on the other side slightly larger than the roll pin size and drift the pin out in the opposite direction. BTW I agree. "Never put a pin in a blind hole" 👍
mrpete222 What you do is measure from the pin clockwise to an approximate half way point. Then measure counterclockwise the exact same distance. The pins other end will be exactly between those two marks (assuming of course the hole was drilled straight 😉) Then measure up from the inside edge to the pin and ad half the width of the pin. Measure up the opposite side and mark it. To account for errors in their measurements and perhaps errors in your measurements because of the difficult position you need to measure from you use the slightly oversized drill bit. You can always go back and make the hole a little bigger if you can't get a drift on it yet because of a larger error than you expected. But you should be really really close.
Jennifer White There is a tool for that Jennifer! Make sure you get the right size though.😉 www.amazon.com/Technology-Quick-Off-Damaged-Lugnut-Remover/dp/B0015PI73Q There are all kinds of ways to do that that dont require special tools but that one is really easy.
For those who enjoy machining and dry humour, may I suggest a smaller (for now) YT channel going by Rolingmetal... Dry as a desert fart, and some very interesting practical machining projects!
Hello Master Pete. can you please explain how to fix a drill wobbling chuck or a drill press wobbling chuck ... my drill is wobbling recently. thank you.
I always enjoy "improving" my old equipment, and I too, always wonder if I am ruining it by modifying it from the original. But, then I realize that when my wife sells my stuff at an estate auction, nobody will care!
I like the crank. What I like most is the variable speed. I hate moving belts. Don't rush into that dirt nap, you could have another 25 years of teaching ahead of you.
Hi Lyle I really don't understand people that are against functional improvements in equipment. The purpose of equipment is to do tasks after all. A modification to equipment which allows it to to do the task better (includes safer) is all to the good. I can see how a collector or historian might wish for things left completely as manufactured but I don't think this is reasonable. Certainly manufacturers specifically reserve the right to make changes to their equipment as they deem necessary. Collectors and historians should be appreciative of those that take the time to keep original equipment.parts removed from their machines as you are doing :-) regards vic
My wife gets upset with me when I make those sick jokes about my demise. She reminds me, I promised her another twenty years just last year, and hey I am 80 now. When I stop checking out those beautiful ladies at the grocery store, that's cause for alarm. When she catches me looking she just says, yeah right .
Was thinking...your term "foreskin" would cost you your teaching job if you were still in the school setting.....I hate today's world....enjoyed the video
The reference to "foreskin" is unprofessional in a teaching setting as is any reference to genitalia. I can hear the giggling in class now that is detracting from the lesson. So you hate the adherence to professional behavior, particularly around youth in an education setting?
Mr. Shobar; it's your world. I'm just trying to live in it. Matters not to me, I will be worm food soon. Good luck with the monster you have created. I only regret you could not know the USA I grew up in.
Yep, if your goal is to be cursed well after your death, put stuff together with blind pins. If you want a lot of cursing, be sure to used hardened dowel pins.
You might mention to your viewers that in situations where a blind pin is unavoidable there are pull pins (fractional and metric) that have an internal thread giving something to get a hold of so they can be removed. Some pins, like the ones made by Holo-Chrome have external rings ground into them to make removal easier.
A man has to do what a man has to do, to get a pin out of a blind hole! I told you once before that you put too much faith in an engineer not to put a pin in a blind hole. (MACHINE SHOP TIPS #136) LOL I don't understand, why the pin when you have a flat on the shaft, unless it saved them on production costs. No threading, and a pin costs less than a set screw, but IN A BLIND HOLE , OMG!
Meant to tell you to make a button to cover the hole on the front of the crank, before someone complains. lol Don't have to press it in, just stick it onto the end of the shaft with a neodymium magnet. Keep us up to date on any modifications or projects on the Delta Drill Press. Keep up the good work.
0:50, Understood, but you used the Tubalcain moniker before you started sharing videos, right? I hereby request you start calling yourself YouTubalcain from now on. I bet the mfgr made the speed control shaft just so that, even if you took the ladder chain sprocket off the shaft, the ship's wheel and shaft wouldn't come off the machine for you to work on at your bench. I'm lucky I've only had a few experiences with pins in blind holes (that I needed to remove). Mostly on (crashed) Japanese robotic machinery. I gathered they were willing to compromise ease of repair for minimum mass and compactness, etc.
As a contrarian, I'll say that the original ships wheel is just plain bad design and the new wheel is a much needed upgrade. I recommend throwing the old one out as an act of cleansing and never let it darken your doorstep ever again.
Mr. Peterson. I had looked up "Tubalcain" a couple of years ago when I first ran across your channel because I knew it was Biblical and I thought it might have to do with blacksmithing or metalworking of some kind.

Thank you so much
Your great sense of humor is shining through on this one! Keep it up! Thanks for what you do, I just regret I didn't have you as my shop teacher back in the 19th century.
Thank you, I'm glad you like my videos, and my humor
Terrific channel. I enjoy your series. Very well presented, with great detail. I can tell you enjoy teaching, as I do.
Thank you, it's good to hear from another teacher
Mr. Pete, youre a great man, and one of my all-time Heroes! You better be around a lot longer than 5 more years my friend, I need constant education in the shop! Live-long and Prosper, and please be well - old timer!
Thank you very much

Thank you very much
Your scenes of hummer is GREAT, and I think your a good teacher of the shop art of machining
Thank you very much, that was encouraging
Love your videos and the crafty name reference sir. Don't let the critics get you down; the internet's full of keyboard warriors who haven't the skill or courage to get their hands dirty. Lastly, your sense of humor shines especially bright in this installment;)
Thank you very much, and I'm glad you like to humor
Now that’s a modification that really really needed making ! Those little ships wheels are a pain!! Marvellous video mr Pete !!
Thank you
for me this is a modification not for the better..........
We love the old tech but also need new tech. Thank you for being open minded and sharing with us. You must have a full life.
Yes, a little of both
Five years? I hope it's much more. You are doing a great job keeping your mind and body active. Well done on getting to grips with 3D printing.
Thanks for watching
Sir. You are never boring and always interesting. sincere regards Joe.
Thank you very much, tell that to my arch enemies
I like your modification! As far as folks who get upset with your modifications, thumb your nose at them and keep moving! I once thought modifying machines was a no no.

I scroll down through the countless videos I downloaded during the night, until I find mrpete222 and then click, grab my coffee and sit back and enjoy. Thanks again Mr Pete, as usual another great video.
Thank you, that's what I do when I get a good magazine in the mail
Sir, time spend watching your videos alwasy worthwhile. Love the humour.
Thank you very much
Keep'em coming Mr. Pete...whatever, whenever and for how ever long You want...people will be cherishing your videos for another 100 years. Look forward to your thoughts on table flex. Concrete in the tube works if you don't have an internal table weight but don't plan on moving it soon on a floor press. Thanks Much. ~PJ
I doubt they will be here 100 years from now, or even five. After all everything I do, demonstrate, or show is obsolete.
Whelp, you can bet your bippy when I take my dirt nap (only a few years behind you) I'll be asking St. Pete, if I get through the gates, where the Tubalcain shop videos are...if I don't make it through the gates...Whelp I guess I'll be watching "Dancing Cat" videos shot on a cell phone.

I can't say how many more years anyone has but as America's metal shop teacher you still have a platform and a "mission" your are sharp as a tack so god willing you have many more than 5 years left.

Thanks for sharing sir.. oh don't change a thing with your humor..
I will not
You have to love the Dremel cut off wheels. Next in line is the hacksaw, my most used tool in the workshop
I own 10 hacksaw's or maybe 12, and have 100s of Hacksaw blades. I use hacksaw's almost every day, I love the high tension frames coupled with sharp blades, you have a formidable cutting tool.

Your dry sense of humor is like mine. I guess because we're both from northern Illinois. Keep up the good work and talk all you want.
I think I got it from my dad, who was Norwegian and from northern Wisconsin
This beating a dead horse thing you do, I like it. Would be willing to bet you have given teaching a good deal of thought.
Thank you very much, I do give it a lot of thought
Excellent Sunday-morning viewing to go with my coffee...always a pleasure. Thanks, Mr. Pete! :-)
Thank you very much
Enjoyed every video. Looking forward to your thoughts on drill press flex, and your humor.

Ignore all the nay sayers.
It is your machine. Do what ever it is required to be efficient for your use.
There are some people who always give as thumbs down on everything.
Very true, they hate their wives also
Very possible!
They may even hate themselves.
When I watch TH-cam on our TV, wifey rolls her eyes when Abom, Keith Fenner or Keith Rucker are on screen. When you come on she actually laughs at some of your asides and plies me with questions about what you're up to. She's a high school science teacher and sees the teacher in you.
Thanks for watching, I had fun in the classroom, and I bet she does too.
True. She has fun teaching and loves the kids.
The drill press was in new mint condition once. That ship has sailed a long time ago. As long as something has no historical significance i see no issues with modifying something as long as it's an improvement.
Thank you
Always interesting to see what's going on in the shop Mr. Pete! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Sometimes purest just go to far. Sure it's nice to save the original . Like you said the next owner may want an original. Good luck , God bless , I enjoy your videos.
You know Mr. Pete, you were making those five year dirt nap comments five years ago. Why not just face the fact that you're stuck with us for a long time to come? :)
Yes, I need some patience
You've got to stop saying you'll be dead in 5 years. I had an uncle who talked like that until he was nearly 100.
2nd the motion!
On the other hand, this might be a good thing? LOL!~!!!
I was just thinking that you might want to add 3 small protrusions to the new knob(at 120 deg interval), facing outward (perpendicular to the shaft) to allow more leverage. Secure each with a blind pin, as they might come loose with use. BTW, thanks for all the great videos!!!
LOL
Lyle, I always learn from your videos, please do keep 'em coming! And I "get" your humor, prob b/c I'm a geezer, too, haha. Know what you mean re LED bulbs. I've changed all my machine lights and the ceiling 4 foot fluorescent tubes over to LED. Nice not to burn your arms when you brush against one. PS - It appears this current age is near it's end and we're outta here soon, so you might not get a chance to take that "dirt nap" ;-) Keep looking UP, Brother!
I plan on changing my shop lights to LED as well. My son-in-law just did it in her shop, and it is really bright
G'day Kevin here from Australia.
Great job . I love a successful modification. 👍
Thank you
Love the videos the, humour and all the content, keep on doing what you’re doing.
Since retiring I have learnt a lot from your channel. I am probably like many of your watchers in that I have a small lathe ( Myford ML 7) and can not find the room or warrant the cost of a milling machine.

Keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to attempt to educate us amateurs.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like the channel. That would be a good subject, I think I have covered it pretty well in my private video courses
Nice new hand crank, good job on getting that pin out.
Thanks Randy
Knurl makes for a nice fine adjust to the speed.
Yes it does
Please curtail the apologies; they're not needed....! Thanks for all the demos.....
I have been using the same 3 d printer. I am still learning how to use the programs to. I am 69. I want to make pattern and try some casting.
Me too, I want to make foundry patterns. But so far, it seems that it would be faster to make them out of wood.
wow,thought Tubalcain was common knowledge as being the first metal worker as mentioned in the Bible,thanks for doing what you do!
Nothing is so uncommon as common knowledge
mrpete222 yes,common knowledge and common sense seem to be anything but common,and thank you for the reply!
Next time you're up in Branson I wouldn't mind coming up there to shake your hand and say hi. The wife and I try to make it up there every now and then as well as the Grizzly store in Springfield.
Yes, that would be great. But I won't get down there for sometime
Thanks for posting this as I have the same drill press. Might I ask a few questions? What belt does it take can't find anything on it? And what size is the ladder chain? Any help would be great as I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance.
I caught on to the humor right away and found it humorist.
Thank you
Great videos! keep the Delta series going!!
I think I have beaten that one to death
I hope it’s many, many, many years before you take your “dirt nap”. If you want the face of the wheel flush with the end of the shaft, you could face a little off the boss on the rear of the wheel, unless that is going to interfere with the set screw. Great video, keep up the great work. Also, as far as making mods to machines go, I make many mods to my machines to suit myself. Not concerned about what anybody thinks, let the next owner change it back to original if he or she wants to.
Yes, it's your machine, do whatever you want
As long as the dirt nap always remains five years in the future, we’re good. Always a good day when you’re in the shop, boots on, making chips.
Yes, I will keep it at bay. Always five years.
I see that you've experimented with adhesion on your printer bed (glue, hairspray), but are still using tape; did you find that worked the best? Love the humor- keep it coming!
Yes, the tape works every time now
Thankyou for the video. Mr. Pete, would you please make a video explaning why a center drill centers? Is it becaurse off wery pricise grinding or what makes it center?
That might be a good topic
Of course, you could give me the drill press and sit back and see who complains about that, too. 😊
Not holding my breath, though. I hope to have a camelback drill press next summer.
Thanks for the video as well as all the others.
John
And thank you for watching
Keep talking about that drill Mrpete.. I'll listen Thumbs UP
Thank you Steve, and keep on shipping, that shaping
mrpete222 Thank you Mrpete👍
Forget the people criticizing, they are the ones who don’t run them every fay
Thanks
Sir please don't ever change your sense of humour
I probably won't, because it is a genetic thing
Say it isn't so, now even Tubalcain is in the 21st century with a 3D printer. Never would have thought that. A lament for the wooden foundry patterns soon to be replaced with plastic.
Don’t worry, I gave the 3-D printer away. I was sick of it.
Mrpete i rember a while back u showed an atatcment that turned a combination square in to a hight gauge was wondering if u had any plans on making such an add on as we all have a combination square
Do you mean the Brown & Sharpe attachment? That might be a possibility, I never thought of it
mrpete222 yes u showed it as part of the hight gauge build last winter
Just rambling again; sometimes things do get butchered you have no choice. Myself I do
not give up or throw anything away. My snow day fix on the ship wheel is, why don't you
mill a flat on the damage or hex flats all around that would look factory: yes
I may just throw it away and be done with it
sorry Mr. Peterson but I am curious about how to remove the pin in other ways too that why I like you channel people had done the thing like that and I like to read them too sometime it helps other out. you and your channel has shown and told use thing we never have seen or have done the open comment you should be happy with the info they may be given us
just saying, other people, the knowledge you are shutting out
for being a teacher you think you know that. I am very sorry if you do not understand. when I read the comments on your channel I am amazed at how meaning people had the different way of doing a job or a repair you and your subscriber put out just have to say well done to the subscriber do it
Maybe they put the ships wheel on so you can only turn the knob slowly, giving the belt time to catch up to the new setting?
It is amazing sometimes what silly inconveniences they put on otherwise fine machines.
Thanks for commenting
For future reference, if you need to get such a pin out of such a blind hole, whilst cursing the such and such who installed a part that way, there is an easy way.... take a trip to your local tile store and look for diamond-tipped core bits - the smallest ones are simply for drilling holes through a hard tile (porcelain and the like) where a normal masonry bit won't work. Bigger ones tend to be for cutting out holes for pipes and cables. They go through aluminium like butter and non-hardened steel almost as well, if you take your time. Anyways, select the size that has a centre hole a tad larger than the diameter of the offending pin, clamp the part vertically in your drill press vice and simply mill out the metal around the pin, down to about half the wall thickness of the part it's in. Then grab the pin with whatever tool seems appropriate and pull the bugger out!
It's a procedure we perform semi-regularly with a piece of railway equipment we have dealings with at work. The old pin is replaced with a turned item that is the diameter of the original pin at the bottom of the hole and the diameter of the ew milled-out section at the top. The pin we have dealings with is relatively large, so the replacement is drilled and tapped about 5mm deep for an M3 thread. So next time we can just whack an Allen head bolt in the hole and pull it right out.
Hope that helps someone.
Thank you, that's a good suggestion
Have a Logan lathe and doing 3D printing will keep tuned in
Thanks for watching
chips and smoke! as usual, that means a great video - thank you!
Thanks
LOL! Ya gotta do what ya gotta do! ROTFLOL!
For future reference. If you ever run into this again you can simply finish off the hole on the other side slightly larger than the roll pin size and drift the pin out in the opposite direction.
BTW I agree. "Never put a pin in a blind hole" 👍
Yes, but locating it on the other side, and actually meeting the pin is quite another story
mrpete222 What you do is measure from the pin clockwise to an approximate half way point. Then measure counterclockwise the exact same distance. The pins other end will be exactly between those two marks (assuming of course the hole was drilled straight 😉) Then measure up from the inside edge to the pin and ad half the width of the pin. Measure up the opposite side and mark it. To account for errors in their measurements and perhaps errors in your measurements because of the difficult position you need to measure from you use the slightly oversized drill bit. You can always go back and make the hole a little bigger if you can't get a drift on it yet because of a larger error than you expected. But you should be really really close.
very interesting thought its like what happens when you round off a lug nut on a rim cannot damage the rim what do you do?
Jennifer White There is a tool for that Jennifer! Make sure you get the right size though.😉
www.amazon.com/Technology-Quick-Off-Damaged-Lugnut-Remover/dp/B0015PI73Q
There are all kinds of ways to do that that dont require special tools but that one is really easy.
For those who enjoy machining and dry humour, may I suggest a smaller (for now) YT channel going by Rolingmetal... Dry as a desert fart, and some very interesting practical machining projects!
I like the sense of humor .......rim shot!
Thank you very much
It would be cool if you could print your "tubacain" logo on the steam engine base you are making.
Yes it would
Hello Master Pete. can you please explain how to fix a drill wobbling chuck or a drill press wobbling chuck ... my drill is wobbling recently. thank you.
If its the chuck wobbling--buy a new chuck.
If its the spindle & it is bent----scrap the drill press--you cannot straighten it.
I think it's the spindle .. could it be the bearing ? it is a chinese drill
Yes--might be a bearing
sorry you need to buy a new drill press but on the other hand, you have a new boat anchor
Send it back to China for a new one.
I Hope the undertaker has to wait a long time . I am sure you can share more of your knowledge to your fans on the internet for many years to come.
Me too
Pete make a cap that will press in the hole of the crank handle
Agreed. JMO, that 3D printer is perfect for the job. Plastic is plenty good for keeping crud out of where it should not be.

I always enjoy "improving" my old equipment, and I too, always wonder if I am ruining it by modifying it from the original. But, then I realize that when my wife sells my stuff at an estate auction, nobody will care!
You are so right
Let's hope it's much more than 5 years before your dirt nap time.
It would be nice, as long as I feel well, like I do now
I like the crank. What I like most is the variable speed. I hate moving belts. Don't rush into that dirt nap, you could have another 25 years of teaching ahead of you.
I hate moving belts, and consequently end up using one speed. This variable speed, is too good to be true.
Drill is misspelled on #405.
good solution ,great vid,.
Thanks
Hi Lyle
I really don't understand people that are against functional improvements in equipment. The purpose of equipment is to do tasks after all. A modification to equipment which allows it to to do the task better (includes safer) is all to the good. I can see how a collector or historian might wish for things left completely as manufactured but I don't think this is reasonable. Certainly manufacturers specifically reserve the right to make changes to their equipment as they deem necessary.
Collectors and historians should be appreciative of those that take the time to keep original equipment.parts removed from their machines as you are doing :-)
regards
vic
They are morons
you should do a yul Brenner, "if your reading this bag,it means I am dead"remember the smoking add yul Brenner did before he died of lung cancer.
I remember that very well
What a great gift!
Thanks
THANK YOU...for sharing.
Thanks
I don't believe your dirt nap is due for another 25 years. Sorry Mr. Pete, your gonna have to be patient.
I am not a patient man
My wife gets upset with me when I make those sick jokes about my demise. She reminds me, I promised her another twenty years just last year, and hey I am 80 now. When I stop checking out those beautiful ladies at the grocery store, that's cause for alarm. When she catches me looking she just says, yeah right .
Kenneth Bartlett keep checkin out the ladies and you'll be fine. Besides, it makes shopping less tedious.
Was thinking...your term "foreskin" would cost you your teaching job if you were still in the school setting.....I hate today's world....enjoyed the video
Thank you
The reference to "foreskin" is unprofessional in a teaching setting as is any reference to genitalia. I can hear the giggling in class now that is detracting from the lesson. So you hate the adherence to professional behavior, particularly around youth in an education setting?
How, then, would one describe it in less than a paragraph with the same comprehension?
MrShobar, I welcome you from your Victorian times into the 21th century!
Mr. Shobar; it's your world. I'm just trying to live in it. Matters not to me, I will be worm food soon. Good luck with the monster you have created. I only regret you could not know the USA I grew up in.
I was just wondering about the name!
where did you get the program for the base you are making?
Do you mean the one for the little red engine? I used tinker cad to create it
"To whom it may concern, this wish comes to you from the grave, good luck reattaching this P.I.A. Delta bodge of a wheel. "
Eternally Yours, T.C. ☺
That may be my only legacy
WELL DONE
Thanks
I have the same sense of humor unfortunately my wife doesn’t.need I say more!?i get ya mr pete.
Yes, not everyone appreciates it
yes the base for the steam engine
I modeled it on tinkercad
Thank you.
You're welcome
Yep, if your goal is to be cursed well after your death, put stuff together with blind pins. If you want a lot of cursing, be sure to used hardened dowel pins.
LOL. Yes, only a very mean person would drive a hardened pin into a blind hole Or a complete moron, or a combination there of.
You might mention to your viewers that in situations where a blind pin is unavoidable there are pull pins (fractional and metric) that have an internal thread giving something to get a hold of so they can be removed. Some pins, like the ones made by Holo-Chrome have external rings ground into them to make removal easier.
A man has to do what a man has to do, to get a pin out of a blind hole! I told you once before that you put too much faith in an engineer not to put a pin in a blind hole. (MACHINE SHOP TIPS #136) LOL I don't understand, why the pin when you have a flat on the shaft, unless it saved them on production costs. No threading, and a pin costs less than a set screw, but IN A BLIND HOLE , OMG!
Also, you can never make too many videos about one machine when they all cover something different!
I never thought of it that way
Meant to tell you to make a button to cover the hole on the front of the crank, before someone complains. lol Don't have to press it in, just stick it onto the end of the shaft with a neodymium magnet. Keep us up to date on any modifications or projects on the Delta Drill Press. Keep up the good work.
0:50, Understood, but you used the Tubalcain moniker before you started sharing videos, right? I hereby request you start calling yourself YouTubalcain from now on.
I bet the mfgr made the speed control shaft just so that, even if you took the ladder chain sprocket off the shaft, the ship's wheel and shaft wouldn't come off the machine for you to work on at your bench. I'm lucky I've only had a few experiences with pins in blind holes (that I needed to remove). Mostly on (crashed) Japanese robotic machinery. I gathered they were willing to compromise ease of repair for minimum mass and compactness, etc.
Too late, I would have to change it in 950 videos
Here’s hoping you have at least 6 more years to go.
How about seven
Maybe some of us are here for the terrible chatter when enlarging a hole on the lathe using tailstock. Why are you sensoring it? :) hehe
I hate chatter
:)
As a contrarian, I'll say that the original ships wheel is just plain bad design and the new wheel is a much needed upgrade. I recommend throwing the old one out as an act of cleansing and never let it darken your doorstep ever again.
Cutting it into several pieces would be very cathartic for me
enjoyed
Thank you
delta variable speed delta variable speed delta variable speed delta variable speed hee hee
when you find that a 50 yr old oldschool machinist can use a 3d printer better than you :/
LOL
You're the Butcher of Barcelona 😝
